System: NetBSD dmath5.geometrie.tuwien.ac.at 1.6L NetBSD 1.6L (RAFFAELO) #0: Fri Jan 17 15:17:52 CET 2003 wiz@dmath5.geometrie.tuwien.ac.at:/home/wiz/cvs/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RAFFAELO i386

>Description:
pax-as-tar does not support -M.
GNU tar man page for 1.11.2 describes it as:
     -M
     --multi-volume          Create/list/extract multi-volume archive.

>How-To-Repeat:
tar -M ...

>Fix:
Implement it.

State-Changed-From-To: open->suspended 
State-Changed-By: mrg 
State-Changed-When: Sat Jan 18 18:16:40 PST 2003 
State-Changed-Why:  
it is extremely unlikely we will ever extend pax to do multivolume  
archives.  'use gnu tar'.
